Rustic and clearly used for generations. Likely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, the shallow oval form sits firmly in the tradition of Provençal tian (baking dishes) and plats à gratin (gratin dishes). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe glaze combination is what makes this one really work. A cream glazed interior covered in beautiful dense crazing, wrapped by a warm honey brown slip glaze around the rim and outer body. Small chips along the edge reveal the pale clay underneath, and the crackle throughout has that depth only real age can create.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the kind of dish that still begs to be used. Tomatoes and zucchini under the broiler, baked figs with honey, goat cheese at the center of the table. Even sitting empty with lemons or walnuts inside, it brings that relaxed Provençal kitchen feeling with it immediately. It's the kind of old pottery that just gets better the longer you live with it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52432163635543,"sku":"KWE-008","price":315.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/rustic-french-tian-gratin-style-ceramic-shallow-baking-dish-2.jpg?v=1767094037","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/rustic-french-tian-gratin-style-ceramic-shallow-baking-dish","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
